~ Symposium: I Like It Like That! ~

Hello Everyone! Welcome to my May
symposium, and boy, do I have a HOT one for you this time! It's finally
spring...so let's turn up the heat!

What is your favorite
sex scene you've written?
This is the question I posed to some of my friends and fellow authors.
There are all kinds of love scenes in books. Some are sweet and gentle, and
some are hot and salacious...either way, you are sure to find something that
flips your switch. So, sit back, relax and see what some of the hottest authors
have to say about what sex scenes had them hot and bothered!

LAURIE ROMA:Imagine being trapped in an elevator...the sexual tension that's been
building for days has become so thick that it's hard to breathe. When wills and
passion finally explode, it's in a wild display of need neither of them can
deny. This is the scenario that I created for my characters Tara
"T-rex" Toshi and Julian King from One Shot. Julian is used to being the king of his palace, but he
discovers that he can't control T-rex, no matter how hard he tries. He may have
her against the wall, but she has him on the floor. I wanted to invite my
readers into the scene as if we were voyeurs, catching a glimpse of this
scorching encounter from the security cameras above. It was definitely one of
my favorite scenes to create and I can assure you, I will never look at elevators
the same again!

Tara Toshi is a woman on the edge. Code name
"T-rex," Tara is one of the elite agents of the IAD Agency,
modern-day warriors tasked with taking down terrorists and keeping the world
safe. She doesn’t believe that happily ever after exists for her, until her
world collides with corporate tycoon Julian King.

Julian King is the owner of a multimillion dollar
hotel empire and personally runs the Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. He
is a man who rules his kingdom with an iron grip and knows that the house
always wins. But when he meets agent Tara Toshi all bets are off. As a
terrorist plot threatens his city, Julian realizes that he is also in jeopardy
of losing his heart.

Passion explodes every time Tara and Julian come
together, but can she risk taking this one shot at finding happiness and give
her heart to a man she barely knows?

HEATHER
RAINIER: Asking which sex scene is my favorite
is a little like asking me which of my children is my favorite. They’re both my
favorites but for different reasons. It’s the same with my love scenes. Lucky
me, I have a lot to choose from. I think the first love scene I ever wrote, in
Divine Grace, is in my top three, along with the first one-on-one love scene
between Ethan and Grace in the same book. I’ve written sex scenes in just about
every place imaginable: indoors in a comfy king-size bed, an elevator, fifty
feet up a tree while tree camping in the mountains, a tattoo studio, as well as
in numerous other public places. Writing the love scenes is a very organic part
of writing the story as a whole so I don’t skip them. I feel they are more
emotional and authentic done that way. What makes certain love scenes my
favorite isn’t necessarily the place, position, amount of privacy—or lack
thereof. It’s not even the heat level, although mine usually hit a high heat
level. It’s the connection between the lovers that makes it my favorite.

The men of
the Divine Creek Ranch have found the woman they’ve dreamed of. Jack loves
voluptuous Grace’s giving heart and blushing cheeks. Ethan loves her wild
innocence and loyalty. Adam fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes on
her.

With the
help of these three handsome men, Grace frees herself from an abusive
boyfriend. She loves them all and knows she could never choose between
them—Jack for his teasing nature, Ethan for his intuition, and Adam for his
gentle ways. When danger and calamity threaten, her men proved they will
protect and defend her. Grace learns what it means to be desired, pursued, and
protected by three gorgeous men, finding that they will do anything to please
her along the way.

Can they
prove to Grace they want forever and not just a fling? Can Grace heed the
advice of her sister and seize the day?

LORI KING: My favorite sex scene that I’ve written
is actually not even a ménage scene-which is shocking considering that’s my
favorite to write usually! It starts on page 201 of the third book in The Gray
Pack series, Legacy of the Wolf. Rafe Whetstone is a werewolf who works as a
fireman by day, at night he is a very talented painter. When he takes his new
mate Shandi into his art studio to “paint her” things get hot and wet fast, as
he proceeds to show her just how creative he can be with his paints and his
fingers. The foreplay is panty-dropping-sexy, and when they finally get to the
sex they are both at nuclear level. The hottest part of the scene is the
physical need that they have for each other. Rafe is a very serious character,
so this scene makes him more tangible and fun. Trust me, I would drop my
panties for him and his paints!

Built like Vikings, the Whetstone brothers are a
force to be reckoned with. As Beta Wolves of the Gray Pack, Rafe and Ryley are
simultaneously two of the strongest men in the pack, and firefighters for the
Kansas City Fire Department.

Twenty years have passed since their parents
disappeared, and they dream of finding their mate, and having a family. They
want to build a legacy of their own, but fate just dumped a big old monkey
wrench in their plans by the name of…Shandi Martin.

Fighting cancer for her life, she was devastated
when her boyfriend left her. So why would she want to risk her heart again?
Facing destiny, she realizes that she stopped living to protect her heart three
years ago. But when a mysterious rogue wolf threatens their new relationship, they
are forced to make a choice. Can they accept a life with just each other, or do
they need a family to be happy?

TARA ROSE: My favorite sex scene from Taming Her
Racy Ways, Racy Nights 5, takes place near the beginning of the book
between heroine Marisol Santiago and one of the heroes, Rafe Rodriguez. It’s
raw and decadent, and unlike anything either has done before. Marisol and Rafe
were high school sweethearts but broke up because their parents disapproved,
and they never consummated their relationship. When they’re brought together
under tragic circumstances in Racy, Indiana at the start of this book, the
passion they’ve held in check for each other for eighteen years explodes into a
bondage and spanking scene that left me breathless as I wrote it. Who hasn’t
held a torch for the one that got away? And because they both realize they’ve
also had secret BDSM fantasies for years, they now have a chance to explore
that lifestyle with each other.

Marisol Santiago and Rafe Rodriguez were forced by
their parents to break up when Rafe was a high school senior and Marisol was
only fourteen, but they have never gotten over each other. When a tornado
brings them together again eighteen years later, his parents force him to make
a choice. Rafe Rodriguez has never defied his parents, but he will stop at
nothing to win Marisol’s love.

Ellis McCree is smitten with Marisol after he offers
to make one of her BDSM fantasies come true. She is everything he’s been
searching for. But when he learns that Rafe intends to win her heart as well,
Ellis knows the only way he can have Marisol is to share her with Rafe.

A searing betrayal by her best friend Ria, Rafe’s
sister, drives Marisol into Ellis’s arms for comfort. But if she gives her
heart as well as her body to him, will she lose Rafe in the process?

JENIKA SNOW: I've written a lot of sex scenes since
I became an author, and although I love each and every scene there is always a
few that really stand out to me. When I started writing the Underground series
and introduced Tate Wessen I instantly fell in love with him. Who doesn't like
a bad boy with alpha tendencies? Their first sexual encounter has hints of
bondage and sensory deprivation which really shows the kind of man Tate is. He
isn't all good, but deep down there is a hero that wants to be set free. He is
controlling and dominating, and expects complete submission. The sex and
chemistry between him and Stella is explosive. I think this is why the sex
between them has stood out in my mind so much.

When Stella Vincent's father gambles away her childhood
home, it is up to her to get it back, but when she finally meets the man who
holds the deed, she realizes just how dangerous he really is. He is tall, dark,
and gorgeous, and so very bad for her.

Tate Wessen knows he is dangerous, and he counts on
others realizing the same thing in order for him get what he wants. Running an
illegal underground fight club isn't the worst he has ever done.

When Stella walks into his office the attraction is
instant. She'll do anything to get her father's house back, and he knows that
he can use this to his advantage. What he offers her is very simple. She must
submit her body to him for the next two weeks. After that her father's debt is
absolved.

The only problem is he finds himself falling hard
for the woman who was only supposed to warm his bed.

LYNNE ST. JAMES: My favorite sex scene is from book
2 in the Vampires of Eternity Series, Twice Bitten to Paradise. It is
Bree, Luc and Rafe’s story. She is a woman used to being in control, who knows
what she wants and what she doesn’t. Fucking yes—commitment not so much.
Rafe and Luc are determined to take all they can get. In the “Lust”
room in Eternity, the guys give Bree her unspoken fantasy—giving up control.
Bree is bound, blindfolded and exposed on a leather-clad table and at their
mercy. The knowledge that she has an audience makes it even more
exhilarating. Luc and Rafe bring her to the edge over and over again
until she begs them for release. But it doesn’t end there. The scene continues
in their bedroom where they give her a night she will never forget.

Brianna McKenzie worked hard to hide her past, but
when she comes face-to-face with the gypsy at the opening of Eternity, her
world turns upside down. Rafael Verratti and Lucian Carpino felt the connection
as soon as they met Bree. But they know that convincing her isn’t going to be
easy.

Luc and Rafe aren’t the only ones who want Bree. The
gypsy tries to steal her, and then a friend from her past calls to say that her
father is missing. Bree decides that in order to protect the ones she cares
about she’ll have to confront her past and deal with her monsters.

Rafe and Luc follow Bree to protect her but are
furious and leave when she shares her dark secret. It’s then that she realizes
her true feelings for them. Will Luc, Rafe, and Bree be able to accept the
secrets and save themselves from curses, witches, and gypsy magic to spend
Eternity together?

SUSAN HAYES:Guarding Valentina is the book that contains my favourite love scene. She’s a security specialist who’s stuck
with a glib tongued, supernatural bodyguard she doesn’t think she needs and
he’s a loner; a dhampir with a vampire to kill and no room in his life for
anything but the mission. When I threw Valentina Farro and Aedan Doyle into a
kitchen together I had no idea I was about write a sex scene that would set the
bar for all my future books. It was two volatile personalities with
explosive chemistry, ice cream and maraschino cherries soaked in whisky combined
with a blindfold and a kitchen table. They were two wounded warriors on the
verge of discovering they were stronger together than they could ever be apart.
They made a spectacular mess of that kitchen, broke some china and tore down
the walls around their hearts. To this day I can’t look at a cherry garnish
without thinking about that scene.

Sometimes everything has to go wrong so fate can
make it right.

Valentina Farro is used to being the hunter, not the
hunted, but when a vampire marks her for death, everything changes. Now one of
Paladin’s fiercest warriors is fighting for her life and the lives of her
Paladin family.

It should have just been another assignment, but
nothing goes according to plan when the vampire Aedan Doyle is hunting leads
him around the world and into Valentina’s life. Determined to keep Val safe
from the vampire’s vengeance, Aedan appoints himself as Val’s personal
bodyguard. Then he makes sure he’s guarding her beautiful body up close and
personal, every chance he gets.

As the body count rises, Valentina and Aedan’s new
bond is tested to the breaking point. Trusting each other with their lives is
one thing, but can two solitary warriors find the courage to trust each other
with their hearts?

SAGE MARLOWE: When Laurie invited me over on her
blog again, I was delighted. When she told me what the topic was, I was
shattered. How am I supposed to pick a favourite sex scene? My characters have
had plenty of action. They've had sweet and emotional, quickies, and they've
had full-blast kink and now you want me to pick just one scene? Hm. Well, actually, there is one scene that sticks out.
It's Noah and Pierce in Sub-Culture and the reason this scene comes to
my mind now is that it combines all those elements. The scene is kinky as
hell—set in a BDSM playroom with a great selection of toys—and yet, it’s one of
the most intimate moments between those two given their history. I think Noah
explains it best when he says, “Tie me up. Tie me down. Whatever. I’m yours. Do
with me as you please.” Yeah. I like it like that.

When life gets on top, delving into a
sub-culture may be just what it takes to keep a sinking relationship afloat

Five years after the bumpy start to their
relationship, Noah and Pierce have settled well into their lives as a happy
couple. The arrival of a new child should have made their matrimonial bliss
complete, but the strain of raising a baby and a teenager, combined with a lot
of pressure in their jobs, is beginning to take its toll.

In the midst of what already is a potentially
explosive situation, Noah’s younger brother Jonah comes to stay with them,
forcing Noah to face the issues he still has regarding his homophobic parents
and adding to the emotional pressure he is under.

When Noah starts behaving oddly and Pierce just
can’t seem to put his jealousy to rest, the cracks in their relationship become
too severe to ignore any longer. They struggle to keep their sinking love
afloat but as Noah craves the comfort a certain sub-culture can offer, Pierce
finds himself wondering just how far he is willing to step out of his own
comfort zone to save their love.

LARA VALENTINE: My hands down favorite scene is
Noelle’s birthday in His Submissive Jewel. Cam really pulls out all the
stops in pampering her down to a bubble bath and a massage leading into the
main event. I love when a Dom takes such good care of his sub, right down
to a foot massage and a hard spanking. He introduces her to the various
uses for a bondage table, and also uses a belt which is **shiver** a
favorite of mine. The scene was romantic, hot, and funny with plenty of
action.

Noelle Carter is in Montana to help with her
sister’s wedding. She didn’t plan on needing to be rescued from a dangerous
storm, nor did she plan on falling for the sexiest man she’s ever met. When she
finds out he’s the head of a family of Dominants, she knows she should move
slowly, but her feelings are too great. She plunges into a relationship with
him, reveling in the passion he can arouse with just a simple touch.

Cam Hunter knows he’s a strict Dom. He never thought
he’d find the perfect woman and submissive, but Noelle has stolen his heart.
She’s turned him inside out and upside down. One minute he wants to kiss her
senseless and the next he wants to spank her bottom bright red.

When Noelle is hurt, he knows it’s no accident.
Someone is targeting her, and if Cam wants a lifetime with his woman, he’ll
need to find the person responsible.

TAYLOR BERKE: As a writer, I often find myself
drifting between my current reality and my romantic sexual fantasy land.
Kids have Disney and I have erotica. We all have our happy places, it is just
that I cannot easily place a poster on the wall of my room that exemplifies
mine. When I was asked about a favorite sex scene that I have written, there
was one that immediately flashed in front of my mind. In Stony Creek Hero
there is a scene where the heroine, Lizzie is saved by the hero, Ben. The
scene is drawn across several settings and involves almost every different
expression of emotion and sexual position that seems to occur in extreme
situations. Volatile emotion and raw sensual hunger are a potent mix
which I can personally relate to. Read it and see if you find a bit of
yourself within it. I did.

The feisty, fiercely independent Lizzie Carmichael
never had any men that she could rely on. As the sole owner of The Stony
Creek Café, she finds herself in a desperate situation where she stands to lose
either her honor or everything that she has ever worked for.

Known as the tough, quiet brother, Benjamin Powell
adores women but strives to keep them at arm’s length, never risking his
heart. When he finds that the only woman who ever inspired him to dream
is in trouble, he makes a choice that could change both their lives, forever.

Lurking in the shadows of Stony Creek, there is a
dangerous menace that will stop at nothing to get what it wants, no matter what
the costs. As Ben and Lizzie start to explore the secret
delights that they finally find in each other, can Ben protect Lizzie from the
threats that try to tear them apart?

REBECCA JOYCE:She shivered as he ran the crop
down her back, the cool feel of the leather warming her body. The anticipation
of what was to come had her pussy spasaming as her hot essence leaked down her
legs… Oh, yeah! I love writing about sex, but if there was one scene that I
totally got off on (Oops, you meant like writing), it would have to be between
Braxton, Charlotte & Jordan in, ‘The Sheriff’s Jailbirds’. There was just
something about the three of them, which made writing about them fun. However
to narrow it down to one scene, umm…I can’t, because the whole book was one
fucking hot sex pool of lust and fornication! The book started out with sex and
ended with sex, and throwing in the fuck chair was just the icing on the cake!

As the sheriff of Treasure Cove, Braxton Connelly
has lived his life by the book. Harboring a deep secret, he ignores his heart’s
desire and puts on a brave face for friends and family. Only behind closed
doors, hidden rooms, and towns miles away does he give in to what he wants
most.

Charlotte Ann Brooks is on the run. Hiding out in
Celestial, Montana, she spends her days pecking away on computers, preferring
the solitude to her loud waitressing job at the Rainbow Room. Her only saving
grace is her roommate and confidant, Jordan.

Jordan Whitmore has built his little IT business
from scratch. Putting everything he had into his business, he is finally
comfortable and making money. That is until his roommate’s past comes barging
in.

When the three worlds collide, chaos ensues. Tempers
rise and all hell breaks loose in Treasure Cove. They must work together to fix
the past, right the present, and save their futures.

TYMBER DALTON: While I can keep books and their
story lines straight in my mind, I'll be honest that sometimes the sex scenes
fade to the background for me. To me, the story is the important part of the
book, and the sex is just one aspect of that. With that said, I think the most
memorable one for me (and my favorite) is the first one between Will and Kal in
"Good Will Ghost Hunting: Demon Seed." Because it was literally about
so much more than sex. It was about saving her life from the wraith, it was
about Will actively choosing to remain amongst the living (albeit forced to do
so to save Kal's life), and it was about two people coming together to heal and
begin a new life together. Will was such a tortured hero, and Kal was waaaay
less than happy about the whole situation, which had been engineered. In fact,
her whole life had basically been engineered, although she didn't know it at
the time.

Can you find Heaven on Earth in the arms of an
archdemon? Bet your soul on it.

Kalyani Martin is a virginal preacher’s daughter.
Waiting for Mr. Right is Kal’s plan, which doesn’t include the hunky,
standoffish Will Hellenboek.

Will cohosts the Otherworlds ghost hunting show with
cousin Aidan Faust. All Will wants to do is end his life following his wife’s
murder twenty-five years earlier. Falling for Kal would jeopardize
everything.

Ryan Ausar’s job as head of the Firm is to protect
the Earth. Unfortunately, archdemon Will refuses to return to work. Desperate
times call for desperate measures. Ryan holds a secret that, if revealed, would
devastate Will and Aidan, men he once called brothers.

With lives on the line, Kal, Will, and Ryan must
choose to give up what they most hold dear. Can Kal turn her back on everything
she knows and help heal a hellishly hunky archdemon’s heart?

SIOBHAN MUIR: I used to hate writing sex scenes
because the story always seemed so much more interesting to write. Don't get me
wrong, I love READING sex scenes, but the writing was difficult for me. This
year I published Not a Dragon's Standard Virgin and it was originally turned
down because the sex scenes were too "meh". So I gave them an
upgrade, making them hotter. Isabelle went from being a tentative virgin after
the first sex scene, to being a bold and beautiful woman accepting her needs
and willing to do something about it. It turns out she's a big fan of 69. The
reason it's my favorite sex scene, is Isabelle totally surprised me. She gave
me hints all the way along, but she surprised me and Jon at the end. It still
makes me shiver with delight.

Sacrificial virgins are so sixteenth
century, but unless Isabelle finds a man to take her innocence, she’ll likely
be next.

For Isabelle Andersen, being a virgin in a
dragon-plagued Scottish village is dangerous. Potentially the next dragon
sacrifice, Isabelle’s only solution is to lose her innocence, and fast. All she
needs is one handsome stranger she can coax into bed, but Lochmore Cott doesn’t
get much in the way of visitors.

Jonarrion Swiftwind has sworn off virgins. The last
time he took one to his bed, his family paid the price for his lust at the
hands of her demon-possessed father. He’s made it his mission to destroy all
demons. Nothing distracts him from killing this demon until lovely Isabelle
offers him tea. And her virginity.

Just one night of passion makes Jon realize he
doesn’t want to let the independent beauty go. But will Isabelle accept him
when she discovers the only real dragon in her village…is him?

AVERY GALE: My favorite sex scene is the
punishment/reward scene that takes up Chapters 22 and 23 in Club Isola –
Capturing Callie. In the scene, Ian and Jace bring in other members of Club
Isola's security team to participate in. None of the men who are not a part of
Ian, Callie and Jace’s usual ménage, bring a unique talent and specialty to the
scene. The scene was controversial among the Siren
editorial staff and it was “suggested” that it be removed so the book would fit
in another imprint. After a lot of soul searching and input from beta readers
and other authors, I opted to leave it alone…so I’ve got a lot invested in that
particular scene. I had always envisioned the Club Isola series being “edgier”
than The ShadowDance Club series and this scene was a huge part of that
departure.

Callie Reece has always been the responsible one…and
where has it gotten her? A low-paying job as a reporter sent in a rowboat to
spy on the ultra-exclusive BDSM club that caters to Washington’s inner circle.

Club owner Ian McGregor and his best friend, former
Navy SEAL Jace Garrett, capture the tiny blonde beauty trying to sneak on the
island. Ian is captivated by the woman he sees below the surface, and he
recognizes Callie as a submissive from the moment he looks into her eyes. Ian
gives her a choice—jail or a month as his submissive. Is she brave enough to
pursue a lifestyle she’d already become interested in?

But Callie is the last witness to a crime committed
by the only son of US Senator John Westmore. And now Grant Westmore is seeking
a powerful State Department appointment, and Callie is the last loose end
standing in his way. Can Ian McGregor’s billions keep Callie safe?

ERIKA REED: I think my favorite sex scene that I
enjoyed writing would have been in my latest release, Blazing Inferno. This
book is about three brothers who knew that Kasey was the right woman to share, just as they always knew that they'd be raising their future family in the town of Inferno, where their chosen lifestyle would be accepted and respected. While Kasey was visiting Zach, the oldest of the three brothers, at the station one day while the crew was away on a call, Zach showed her how erotic it can be to be tied up on the back of the second fire engine in the garage. Zach used the fire hose to bind Kasey's wrists and ankles and he uses her naked body for his pleasure. I believe the words "yes, sir" and "Oh my God" were used frequently as she was bound to his every desire.

Kasey Mcintyre, her cousin, and her best friend are
visiting the town of Inferno, California. They’re just there to watch Kasey’s
dad’s recognition ceremony at the local firehall, but there’s trouble kindling
for the three of them and it’s going to stop them from enjoying their visit.

Brothers Zach, Jake, and Cody Kelly feel their
libidos ignite when Kasey’s car almost collides with their fire engine. The
three brothers always knew they’d find the right woman to share, just as they
always knew that they’d be raising their future family here in Inferno, where
their chosen lifestyle would be accepted and respected. The Kelly boys believe
that Kasey is the woman for them, so when the situation heats up and burns out
of control, they’ll stop at nothing to protect the woman they have all come to
love.

It’s going to take love, trust, and courage for the
four new lovers to discover the truth and find out who is after Kasey…and why.

HENNESSEE ANDREWS: I can tell you without a doubt that my favorite sex scene is from my book, Drew - The Texas Senator’s Sons 2. Out of all the books I’ve written, Drew is the most emotionally charged with the hottest sex. The scene I like most is when Liv Lancaster is teasing Drew Radcliff. He isn’t in the mood to deal with her or women at all after being burned so badly by his ex-fiancée. Liv’s teasing not only pisses Drew off, it also turns his personality and appetite for sex to explosive. He is gruff, demanding, and rough. He takes what he needs, but to his surprise, Liv loves it. My favorite part of their first encounter is: “Say it.” Drew growled. “I want you to fuck me, Drew.” By far, Drew is my most favorite book in The Texas Senator’s Sons series. Be sure to check out Drake in August!

Drew Radcliff hasn't had good luck with women, which created an enormous chip on his shoulder, and Liv Lancaster is just the woman to knock it off. When she sets her sights on taming the demons inside him, she finds a man able to satisfy her in ways she could only dream of.

In order to free Drew from the pain of his past, Liv knows he must forgive his own indiscretions. Putting him through what she calls The Course may be just what the doctor ordered for expelling demons keeping him from love and the happiness he truly desires.

In Liv's quest to uncover the man hidden beneath the pain, she unleashes a highly sensual and sexual man able to give her all and more. Erotic spanking and bondage prove to be the weapon of choice when fighting for the heart of the sexy senator's son, Drew.

MIA ASHLINN: My favorite love scene?
Hmm…that’s a toughie. Initially, I was going to say my first love scene was my
favorite. You know, the whole ‘it popped my cherry’ bit. But in reality, Micah
Blaylock and Caedon Asher’s love scene from the fourth Sweet Serenity book, Three
Rings and a Rose, always stands out in my mind. Now why is that? Well first
of all, writing MM action just does it for me. I don’t know why, but two men
together in a sexy tryst really trips my trigger. And secondly, this is the
first love scene where the men didn’t spend an exorbitant amount of time
talking—dirty or not. It was all about the emotion coursing through them,
entirely about the passion exploding between them. Words weren’t necessary. It
was just, ‘Boom!’ That was a first for me. So in essence, I guess this scene
popped my cherry, too!

Ella Dawson learned the hard way how much it hurt to be trapped in the middle of Micah Blaylock and Caedon Asher. The tension between the men drove her to the edge. Then a scandal destroyed her relationship with Caedon, shredding her heart and driving her back to Serenity, Kansas.

Two years later, Caedon still can’t forget Ella or Micah. When a worried friend’s meddling provides him with an opportunity to rekindle the relationships he lost, Caedon jumps in with both feet. But he knows he’ll need Micah’s help.

Secret desires and fears push Micah to refuse Caedon. However, Caedon won’t relent. When he finally convinces Ella and Micah to give sharing a shot, what happens when the two men’s love for each other can no longer be denied? And how will their relationship survive when scandal threatens to tear them apart once again?

It’ll take three rings and a rose to unite these would-be lovers, this time forever.
